Categories     Coconut

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 hot dried red chilies
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 inch piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons rice wine or 2 tablespoons other mild vinegar
2 tablespoons corn, grapeseed or 2 tablespoons other neutral oil
1 1/2 lbs beef, preferably chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups coconut milk (or 1 can, about 1 1/2 cups, plus 1/2 cup water)
salt

Steps:

  • Put chilies, garlic, ginger, chili powder, lime juice and zest in bowl of a food processor, and process until everything is minced, or mince by hand and combine.
  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a skillet that can later be covered. Add spice paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add beef, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and covered with sauce.
  • Pour in coconut milk, and bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer, stirring only occasionally (but making sure mixture is simmering very slowly, with just a few bubbles at a time breaking the surface) until meat is extremely tender, at least an hour and possibly closer to 2.
  • Uncover and cook until sauce is very thick and caramel-colored, stirring frequently so it does not brown. Season to taste with salt, and serve with white rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or brisket are both excellent choices for this recipe, as they are tough cuts that will become tender when braised.
  • Brown the beef before braising: This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a Dutch oven or slow cooker: These cooking methods will help to keep the beef moist and tender.
  • Add plenty of liquid: The beef should be covered by liquid in order to braise properly.
  • Simmer for at least 2 hours: This will give the beef time to become tender and flavorful.
  • Serve over rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Coconut braised beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
